Our fascination with pea shoots is further expanding and a new product being offered. We have gone way beyond what we thought possible with our farms by multiple harvests of wonderful pea shoots. We are working with a special pea that is bred to grow multiple shoots with wispy tendrils and tasty leaves and stems.

The plants are yielding 5+ cuttings and still growing, pictured below is a tray that is starting to regrow after the third cut so you can see what we mean. The strategy though would be to cut a a handful everyday and the regrowth will give you a constant supply of these wonderful shoots.

We are introducing our larger Pea Shoot MicroFarm featuring our 50% larger 7"x7" growing tray that has supplies to grow out 4 complete crops of shoots. This particular tray should give you about 100 shoots per grow so you can see this will give you a tremendous amount of the shoots in this one kit.

Pea shoots are all over the internet as far as recipes. They are prominent in asian and european cuisine. Take a look at this UK based grower, PeaShoots.com who espouses the goodness of the shoots and so many recipes to use them. We will be introducing in the coming days other specialty peas and some exotics to give you unique items with arrangements with custom breeders.
